No heat out of my Elektra T1. Any advice?

Hi All,
I came home today to find no steam in my Elektra T1. The machine powers on just fine, pump works but no hot water or steam. Clearly something is wrong. Rather than start poking around and guessing, I'm sure someone much smarter than me has a flowchart or some suggestions on where to start.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!!

Check one, check the heating element terminals for power. If there is no power, go upstream and check the pressurestat. If there is power at the element, your element has burnt out. You just start from one end and work your way back up the brain box. When you hit power, you know what part is bad.

AHHHH, I feel dumb. I took it all apart and as soon as I took the cover off the stat I remembered how they carbon up and need to be cleaned. Sure enough, a little scrub and it all works great.
Thanks for the help!!
